Why place stays visible

A regional label is part of the definition.

01

It limits the claim

A meaning can be useful without pretending every speaker, neighborhood, or generation uses it identically.

02

It preserves register

Place helps explain whether a word sounds familiar, affectionate, dated, formal, coarse, or context-sensitive.

03

It supports correction

Readers can challenge a specific regional record instead of correcting a vague global definition.
